How much is my Toronto personal injury worth?

This is an important question our Toronto personal injury lawyers hear a lot when we meet with injury victims. That’s because the financial impact of a serious injury accident can add up fast. The bottom line is you should be compensated for all of your expenses, including:

Cost of all medical care, including future medical procedures, some of which might not be covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP).
Vehicle repairs or the cost of buying a new car if it’s a total loss.
Replacement income if you need time off from work to rest and recover.
Lost future income if you cannot return to work due to a permanent disability.

And if you don’t demand the compensation you deserve, you could end up paying for some or all of these expenses out of your own pocket.

How can Toronto personal injury lawyers help me?

First, it’s important to us that you get the medical help you need so you can recover from your injuries as much as possible. We can connect you to doctors, specialists, therapists and other medical professionals in the Toronto area. Your health is the most important thing.

Our Toronto lawyers can help you apply for accident benefits after your injury. These may include medical and rehabilitation benefits, attendant care benefits and income replacement benefits. We fight the insurance companies to help you the full amount of benefits you are entitled to receive.

Our Toronto firm can also help you take legal action against the negligent parties who caused your accident. This can be a difficult process. Negligent parties may deny doing anything wrong and refuse to take responsibility. Insurance companies will try to limit your compensation. They may even argue that they don’t owe you anything at all.

That’s why we start by investigating your accident to get the facts. Our legal team in Toronto gathers evidence, which may include maintenance records and video recordings. We carefully review all documentation, such as police reports and medical records. If needed, we consult industry professionals, such as medical specialists and accident reconstruction experts.

They know we build strong cases, and they know that our lawyers are never afraid to go to trial to fight for a client. It’s why they often agree to negotiate a settlement with us rather than face our lawyers in court.

We have secured millions of dollars for our clients including:

$1.3 million for a resident who died in a fire in an illegal rooming house.
$640,000 for a nursing home resident who died from strangulation in bed.
$515,000 to a contractor who fell on someone else’s property and broke his heel.
